Believe In Me

I saw your tears, I knew something was wrong, I knew with my mother, My son didn't belong. I saw the pain that you held deep inside. I never wanted to leave you, or ever have to say goodbye. I chose for you to sleep safe in a bed, instead of our car, making sure you were fed, was most important by far. I wish I could take all the tears and sadness away, to correct all the wrongs and the mistakes that I made. All you wanted was my approval, my affection and my love, Yes, I know saying the words, just wasn't enough. If I could go back in time I would have put up a bigger fight I would change it all today, to make your life a little more kind. I would be to you all, what a mother should be, I love you with all of my heart, I just wish you could see, All I ever wanted was for my children to believe in me.
